Montessori education is a child-centered approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s. It emphasizes independence, hands-on learning, and collaborative play in carefully prepared environments. Montessori schools are particularly popular for early years and primary education among expat families seeking an alternative to traditional academic frameworks. The method is used in over 20,000 schools worldwide.
55 schools offering the Montessori curriculum worldwide.
While Montessori is primarily used in early years and primary settings, many Montessori schools transition students to mainstream curricula (IB, British, or American) at secondary level. Research shows Montessori-educated children often outperform peers in creativity, problem-solving, and social skills — qualities increasingly valued by top universities.
